The animal kingdom is in wonderful harmony and balance, as it should be with us.  His intelligence and beauty in design is evident, demonstrating both science and art.   As with all things in God, it is not just the ones that you would go to a special exhibit or a zoo to see, but in our everyday lives if we look closely enough.

Often people think that one must go to a special cultivated garden to see beautiful and exotic flowers and plants. Yes, these are beautiful but what about the beauty that might be in your yard, your local park?

Up above us every day is the reminder of God’s presence looking down upon us. These pictures represent some of the many splendors which are available to each of us. None are taken from the top of a mountain or in some exclusive beachfront property, but the skies available to us all.

I have always been drawn to the painting style developed by the great Impressionistic painters such as Monet, Degas, Renoir, Manet, Pissarro, and many others. It is the play of light, the essence of things which is often more telling than the literal interpretation of nature.

The majesty of trees, the life-giving force of water, and the vastness of natural landscapes. These are truly gifts from God.

Black and white photos reveal the patterns of things, the elegance of design. Sometimes color hinders your ability to “see” these exquisite patterns. This is why black and white photography can be so revealing.
